Our Mission

A national survivor-led nonprofit organization, transforming the growth of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ survivors of domestic trafficking and those within the commercial sex industry by providing barrier-free access to survivor-centered support focused on mental health, education, and economic mobility.

Our Vision

YAMT envisions creating a world where mental health, education, and economic mobility are no longer barriers to success for marginalized survivors and sex workers.

We envision a world where marginalized survivors and sex workers are seen, heard and understood in their own lives, communities and through a wider lens of society’s views.

Our Programs

All Services are provided for 100% free

Wellness Center

Our Wellness Center aims to build upon the crisis management model and move towards long-term care by providing care, creating connection, and eliminating barriers for survivors and sex workers to gain access to survivor-centered, trauma-informed mental health services throughout NJ and nationally. 

All services are provided nationally except for counseling services which are only available to PA and NJ participants*

Career and Educational Development 

Our Career and Education Development program supports our members in re-investing in their own entrepreneurial, professional, and educational journeys through one-on-one support and guidance, resource gathering assistance, small group courses, and skill-building webinars to help members reach their long-term goals.

Grants and Flexible Funding

Our Grants and Flexible Funding support exists to help provide our members support in navigating through various financial situations. We all deserve a world where we can live on our own terms with the financial means to support our wellbeing and growth and YAMT aims to help make this easier whenever possible.
